I have cut myself on the plastic edges and with the scissors and knives I have used trying to open these infernal packages. I would think the risk of a really serious injury (especially with a razor knife) is not out of the question.

Someone with weak hands like children, the elderly, and a number of (small-handed) women would be more likely at risk since such efforts can push them past keeping "firm" control of the cutting tool.
